Chatting with Jesus
Thursday, September 22, 2022
Lord, has this world always been this tumultuous? Many claim our world has never been more wicked than today. This is nothing new. In Paul’s letter to the Romans believers, he details that ever since creation, and that snake/apple disaster in the Garden of Eden, man has rejected You as being non-essential. Thousands of years ago, sinful man set the standard for wickedness, and man has worked hard to raise that bar ever since.
Lord, what are Your followers to do, living in this sinful world? Seeing the corruption around us at every level remaining unpunished, how can we as believers keep our minds from exploding with rage?
The psalmist shared his wisdom for living in this troubled world: trust God will do what He says He will do:
“The Lord says, I will rescue those who love me. I will protect those who trust in my name, [my power, my promises.] When they call on me, I will answer, I will be with them in trouble. I will rescue and honor them [honor their faith in my Word]” —Psalm 91:14,15.
How our sinful nature wants us to take matters into our hands and make things right with the world. Most times, our human efforts make things worse. Instead, You say, wait—I will avenge the wrongs (Romans 12:9). In this sin-filled world, evil will cause people to call out to You, Lord. You have never taken back Your promise to answer and sustain those who trusts in You.
Thank You, Lord. Amen.
THANKFUL
